This year my daughter has become vegetarian, 2 yr old granddaughter and SIL have gone gluten free and she can't eat eggs & is a bit dodgy with dairy too (appointment with a specialist coming up).Anyone know if glutenfree flour and veg suet work in Christmas pudds.

Did you mean you want to do 'everything free' for everybody? If so, you have your work cut out. The thing about vegetarians is that they are happy to make compromises to get the diet they want. But if your family enjoy their roat chicken and sausage....

On the other hand, I have been veggie for 30 years and things are a lot easier now. Most of your meal can be meat and gluten free, so all you would need to do is find something dairy, gluten and everything else free to do as 'extras' rather than instead of. The internet is your friend. I have a MIL who is Celiac and FIL who is diabetic so I know it can be tricky. If you put in something like vegetarian gluten and dairy free (vegan) Christmas dinner you will find something. But don't try to do too much all at once, do as much as you can ahead of time otherwise you will spoil your day.

My BIL is celiac, as Christmas pudding only has a small amount of flour then the texture won't be affected by gluten free flour. I would think veg suet will be fine. Sorry can't help with the dairy free stuff

Of course local shops don't stock Trex! So I'm cheating as they did have 'free from' Christmas pudds on 2fer. They look very small. I'm making my usual mix for the rest of us, and a gluten free, dairy free plum crumble as an and/or.
